Federal Judge Rules DACA is Illegal; Orders Biden Admin. to Stop Processing Applications

ederal Judge Andrew Hanen ruled on Friday that the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) amnesty program is illegal and ordered the Biden Administration to immediately stop processing new applications. For now, the ruling does not revoke the status of the approximately 616,000 illegal aliens who are protected from deportation and have work permits through DACA.

Judge Hanen ruled that the Department of Homeland Security under the Obama Administration "violated the [Administrative Procedure Act] with the creation of DACA and its continued operation."

"The DACA memorandum and the DACA program it created are hereby vacated and remanded to the DHS for further consideration," Judge Hanen wrote.

CBP noted in a press release that agents encountered an astronomical 123,838 unique aliens in June at the border, meaning tens of thousands of aliens continue to make multiple attempts to illegally cross the southern border after being turned away the first time.

These 188,829 alien apprehensions in the month of June represent a 5% increase in illegal alien encounters from May 2021, despite the yearly trend of migration dropping off through the sweltering summer months.

What does "restoring normalcy" mean at the border?

What would "restoring normalcy" at the border look like? Americans in border towns would like to see local cross-border travel resume, with people coming through ports of entry (rather than cutting through farms and ranches) and leaving at their appointed time. They would like to grow unaccustomed to high-speed chases through school zones. They would like to feel heard.
